    No relation. A neon light is plasma: charged particles in low pressure or even vacuum. In a neon light the particles are molecules of gas. In space they might be molecules or dust particles.

    Fire is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer.

    Don't talk about plasma around astronomers. They get really rude.

    I wonder if astronomers talk about plasma around the campfire.
